We made it back from California unscathed. A little tanner, a few more pounds, and a few good memories. The guys (Ed, Matt, Cub, and I) played a few rounds of golf, we all went out to dinner to some fabulous resturaunts, and we woke up every moring to the view you see to the left. Jessica and I had our own fantastic room and really enjoyed our time together. There were some fun adventures and one scary one. The scary one consisted of an attempt by Cub, Amber, Jessica, and I to drive about 30 minutes up into the mountains that you see and check out a little town called Idyllwild. We made it about 4 miles up the mountain road, which had unbelievable switchbacks and hills, until the ladies decided they were not interested in going any farther. It got a little crazy both on the road and inside the car. Mostly, we spent time laying by the pool and enjoying the sun and 85 degrees everyday. Now that I am thinking about it I don't think I saw one cloud all week. The resort was amazing and the drinks were cold. There were a lot of expensive cars and retired people as well. It was American excess and I loved it. I stood in a store that sold $10.00 shoes for $1000.00 and stared at a gross old man who got into his Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Convertible as he put his driving gloves on, put the top down, dialed his cell phone and took off. I was a bit disgusgusted but then realized it was plain jealousy. Ahh, to dream. In summary, we had a great time and enjoyed time with the family. I am happy to be back work...kinda.

I also had a great time...aside from the car ride, which I wanted to continue on, only faster...but...it was not to be. Brooklyn is a true daredevil in the pool...and not a good flyer...yes...Amber and I were "those people" on the plane back, but all in all, it was a good time...Carla makes a mean Long Island Iced Tea...no doubt about it...it'll GETCHA!
